This might be a stupid a question, but is the Yough generally fishable in the winter? I might have to head up that way next week and was wondering if I should even consider it. I never had before and have only fished it a few times. I'm mostly considering the Confluence area. Even if it wont be good it might be better than the alternative.

Absolutely! Bring your midges, nymphs, streamers, and even some micro caddis. The section from the dam to the split will be your best bet as the the water will be most influenced by the bottom release. For top water action, the section just above the bike bridge to the bridge above.... Or the section just above the cassleman.. I would fish the section below the bike bridge if using streamers / nymphs.
